Rebello then drove south in the northbound median and was chased by police. He then got off the highway, police said, and hid behind trailers at a trucking company, where he was arrested.

Rebello pleaded not guilty in Quincy District Court to charges including motor vehicle assault on a police officer, racing, driving with a suspended license and failing to stop for police. A judge set bail at $10,000 but revoked his bail for driving charges in New Bedford and ordered him held for 60 days.
